Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2022 is a medium-to-full-bodied Supertuscan red wine from the Bolgheri sub-region of Tuscany. Tenuta San Guido is perhaps most famous for their flagship wine, Sassicaia, one of Italy`s top Bordeaux-style red blends. Le Difese is the estate`s entry-level offering, yet it is crafted with the same care and attention to detail as its more illustrious stablemates. This wine was first produced in 2003, and it is known for its consistent quality and excellent value. Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, two grape varieties that thrive in Tuscany`s maritime climate. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and dark fruit flavours to the blend, while Sangiovese adds bright red fruit notes and a touch of acidity that balances the wine beautifully.

Vinous
The 2022 Le Difese is plump, juicy and expressive, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, succulent red cherry fruit, mint, spice and blood orange all race across the palate. This exuberant yet mid-weight coastal Tuscan red is a total pleasure bomb. The 2022 is an especially fine edition. It benefits from a warm year - which can be a positive for entry-level wines - earlier bottling and selection. Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (both estate and non-estate sites) and Sangiovese, all purchased.
